Hi there blog land! Yesterday was such a crazy hectic day because Elijah had surgery to put in ear tubes and have his adnoid removed. He was so cranky after the anesthesia that all I could dream about was putting him to sleep and getting crafty. I mean along with a glass of wine, what better way is there to unwind? ;)

So I cracked out the Bellas that were once my obsession and have recently been collecting mire dust than I care to admit. This card is the first of next year's palancas... I may have mentioned that a tradition at my school is for all the teachers to give the graduating seniors a note of encouragement around the end of the year. So of COURSE I had to go and start making individualized cards for each student... But in order to prevent it from becoming too much of a burden I have had to start the cards as early as possible...

This one is for a special student who was a pleasant surprise as a junior... One who loves to listen to her music but uses it to help concentrate and ROCK her assignments in class... I have high hopes for this miss next year...

I am submitting this one to Card Makin Mamas who challenged us to whip out our rubber stamps and Do You Stack Up who challenged us to use red as a predominant color. Thanks for looking!!

My personal chaos comes from my current scrap addiction. All I ever want to do in my free time is scrap! :) This blog, therefore, is my place to organize my slovenly chaos, showcase my creativity, and share my madness!
